MIGRANT FARMER, 1940 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of Rural America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a poignant moment in American history during the summer of 1940. Taken by renowned photographer John Vachon, it portrays a young migrant strawberry picker in Berrien County, Michigan. The image serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by working-class families during the Great Depression era. In this snapshot, we witness a girl wearing a bonnet and holding a basket filled with freshly picked strawberries. Her weary expression hints at the hardships she endures daily as she toils away in the fields. This powerful visual narrative sheds light on child labor practices prevalent at that time. The backdrop showcases an expansive farm field stretching towards the horizon, symbolizing both hope and despair for those seeking better opportunities amidst economic turmoil. The photo's composition perfectly encapsulates rural life during this period—simple yet arduous. Vachon's lens not only documents individual struggle but also highlights larger social issues such as poverty and migration. Through his work commissioned by Roosevelt's New Deal program called Farm Security Administration (FSA), he aimed to raise awareness about these pressing concerns while capturing authentic moments from everyday life. As we gaze upon this evocative print, let us remember those who labored tirelessly under challenging circumstances to sustain their families and contribute to our nation's agricultural heritage—a testament to resilience amidst adversity.
